ok Jonathan, thanks.

It's a shame that WL doesnt save the data in some sort of standard format
that other programs can readily use. Once I start using another piece of
software and downloading data with it, I cant go back to WL if I feel I need
to, and maintain a constant record.

I would probably use a third-party prog to generate better graphs and
reports, and continue to use WL to download my data to keep all records in
one format.

Jonathan,

Do you download your data using Weatherlink and export it into another
program?

Would be interested in a third party program which can manipulate the raw
Weatherlink data files (I have nine years of data now!) or can use an
imported Weatherlink database in order to creates reports and graphs.
So far, no such beast seems to exist and I dont really have the time or
expertise to write one myself.

The software automatically downloads straight from the station. I wrote a
small piece of software that processed the data from records exported from
WeatherLink (which is why I have data on my website going back to last
September). The graphs on my website are dynamically created in real-time
with the most up to date information - you don't need your own website as
it's possible to install a local webserver and database and use those.

One bonus is that it should be fairly simple to change the reporting
period from 0000-0000 to 0900-0900 which is more "standard". I've not done
that yet, but when I get time I'll give it a go.

(I've just installed Linux so I've been a bit busy - the good news is that
my software still works!)

Jonathan
